This special report prepared for Canadian Parliament documents that in addition to promoting terror by paying salaries to terrorists, the Palestinian Authority promotes terror by glorifying terrorists. Hundreds of terrorists have been honored by the PA, many of them murderers serving numerous life sentences for killing many civilians.

Compilation of four PMW reports documenting the PA's payment of salaries to Palestinian terrorists in Israeli prisons:
1. "PA to pay salaries to all terrorists in Israeli prisons" (May 20, 2011)
2. "PA glorification of terrorists and payment of salaries to terrorists and British funding" (Sept. 13, 2011)
3. "Special report to members of British Parliament" (Oct. 30, 2012)
4. "Is the PA lying to European governments in order to receive European funding?" (Feb. 14, 2013)

This report documents that the PA has continued to glorify terror, despite Dutch motion 1039 passed in March 2011 that calls to end Dutch funding to the PA if “no measures are being taken to act against the glorification and whitewashing of terrorism.” The 40 page report brings clear and unequivocal evidence of the official PA policy of glorifying terrorists as heroes and role models. The PA Minister of Prisoners' Affairs regularly visits the homes of terrorist murderers and honors them, five different weekly PA TV shows glorify terrorists in Israeli prison, and music videos honoring terrorist murderers are regularly broadcast on PA TV. All this and much more terror glorification is funded by the PA's general budget, which is supported by the Netherlands.

This report documents the hatred and violence that is promoted by the PA through structures also funded by the general budget. It includes official PA TV children's programs that call Israel "Satan" and describe Christians and Jews as "inferior and despised" and preaches Islamic supremacy over Christians and Jews. It includes the PA Grand Mufti's statement on PA TV that the destiny of Muslims is to kill Jews. It includes many examples of glorification of terrorist murderers by official PA TV and the PA Minister of Prisoners' Affairs.

This report is about PA payment of salaries to terrorists in Israeli prisons. This report was prepared earlier this year for British Parliament, but the information about the salaries going to terrorists is important and relevant for all countries that fund the PA. The report was first presented at a lecture to 30 members of British Parliament in October.

The documentation in this report is a small representative example of the Palestinian Authority’s ongoing program of hate and terror promotion. The PA has not fulfilled its fundamental obligations to be accepted as a participant in a peace process, because of its continuous:
(1) denial of Israel’s right to exist;
(2) incitement to hatred;
(3) glorification of violence and terror.
The members of the international community, including those countries funding the PA, have not fulfilled their fundamental obligation as overseers of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and therefore share in the responsibility for these ongoing Palestinian violations. The PA’s activities, statements, and cultural expression that indoctrinate hatred and violence, which are documented in this report are all funded through the PA's general budget, which is funded by the UK, US, EU, and other Western countries.

UK Minister of State for International Development Alan Duncan wrote a letter to MP Robert Halfon in which he rejected PMW's earlier findings that exposed the Palestinian Authority's payment of salaries to terrorists with UK money, claiming that the PA only pays "social assistance programmes to provide welfare payments" to families of prisoners. In response, Palestinian Media Watch prepared and presented in UK parliament a second report that reiterates and verifies our original findings, and rejects Duncan's categorization of the PA payments as "social assistance."

This report was presented on September 15, 2011 to Dutch parliament.

In addition, the report showed that the PA actively honors terrorists who are serving life sentences for murder.

A law published in the official Palestinian Authority Registry in April 2011 grants all Palestinians and Israeli Arabs imprisoned in Israel for terror crimes a monthly salary from the PA. Following the signing of this new law, the PA is now paying a salary to these prisoners. According to the definition in the PA law, Palestinian car thieves in Israeli prisons will not receive a salary, but Hamas and Fatah terrorist murderers will.

This report examines how the establishment of the State of Israel is depicted in the Palestinian Authority's educational system and official media, both of which operate under the supervision of PA President Mahmoud Abbas. The report documents how the establishment of Israel and its continued existence are demonized by spokesmen and representatives of the PA in the official controlled media. The aim of the report is to document the PA positions expressed in internal Palestinian discourse in Arabic that are not expressed to the outside world. The report focuses on statements by senior PA officials, columnists in the official PA press, and program hosts and reporters on PA TV, from 2010-2011.

Palestinian Media Watch has translated the book "Jihad is the way" by Mustafa Mashhur, who was the official leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt 1996-2002. The book is the fifth volume of his full work called "The Laws of Da'wa" (Islamic missionary activity).
In his book, "Jihad is the way," Mashhur explains the fundamental concepts of the Muslim Brotherhood ideology. Mashhur's teachings encompass subjects such as the Muslim Brotherhood's goal of establishing an Islamic state, world domination under Islam, the public and personal religious duty of military Jihad, and the warning not to rush to Jihad until it is prepared and timed for maximum benefit.

This report is part of a PMW series monitoring Palestinian incitement during the proximity talks, which began in May 2010. These monthly reports were distributed in the European Union Parliament, and presented in the U.S. Congress and to the Prime Minister's Office in Israel. Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas declared that the PA would fulfill its commitments in the proximity talks, with special focus on their stopping incitement. However, PMW's analysis of Palestinian media has documented that every condition, principle and expectation set by the US and the Quartet for accepting the Palestinian Authority as a partner in the peace process continues to be violated by the Palestinian Authority in the first months of talks.

This report was presented by PMW director Itamar Marcus to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 3, 2010 and to members of US Congress in Washington D.C. on May 6, 2010. In this report, Palestinian Media Watch documents the Palestinian Authority policy of glorifying terrorists through naming schools, streets, sporting events, summer camps, and ceremonies after terrorists. PMW chose 100 examples of places and events named after 46 different terrorists in order to show the scope of the phenomenon. This ongoing PA policy to glorify terror plays a significant role in defining the Palestinian world, and undermines the chances the peace.
